I grew up in Beaumont, CA, near Palm Springs -- where I spent a great deal of time in the late 60's and 70's. My love for modern and mid-century run deep.
I now live with my husband and two young children in Sacramento, CA. We have two mid-century modern homes, one of which is an Eichler.
Thanks for stopping by :) *clinking virtual martini*

According to my research for the Tour guidebook, this two bedroom, two-story, 1963 custom home was designed by Robert N. Hill of Morris Construction Company. According to city records, the home’s first residents were real estate developer Robert C. Powell and his wife, Jeanette, an award-winning interior designer. Robert C. Powell developed several communities and properties in Sacramento including Campus Commons, Governor’s Square, Gold River, and Pavilions Shopping Center. Morris Construction Company was operated by Robert S. and Steven T. Morris. Their company built many homes throughout Sacramento.

This unique home includes its original pool, dramatic floating staircase, broken slate floors and concrete masonry. There is even a little door near the bar for passing cool drinks to guests outside at the pool! The current owner recently and sensitively remodeled her home using natural and hand-crafted materials. An open floorplan and floor-to-ceiling windows provide a perfect setting to showcase modern furniture and art.

Interesting furniture/homeware finds (and humor) abound from the folks over at Mimomito, an awesome newcomer to the Sacramento blog scene. The blog was started when "a group of friends in Sacramento that found out about each other’s furniture obsession and started sending craigslist links to one another – and cluttering up the walls of Facebook with ads about couches and coffee tables. We’ve honed and concentrated our powers into this blog to surface great furniture in and for the Mid-Town Sacramento community."
